Kathy Griffin: One Hell of a Story

Have you heard? That fiery, foulmouthed, reality TV obsessed, red head, Kathy Griffin has a docu-comedy coming to theaters next week for one day only. The film is Griffin’s response to what happened following the graphic, viral photo of her holding a bloodied, severed head of President Trump two years ago.

The film, Kathy Griffin: A Hell of a Story, premiered at this year’s South by Southwest Film Festival and will open for one show only at 8PM on Wednesday, July 31. Locally this will play at ShowPlace ICON Boston, AMC South Bay, Regal Fenway as well as many surrounding theaters in the ‘burbs.

You can read more about the film and what Kathy Griffin has been up to in the LA Times article, Kathy Griffin made $75 million making people laugh. But the phone’s not ringing.

Vintage gay

men kissing I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share?

This week on Instagram: brandyboy

Brandy MartignagoWhile Brandy Martignago doesn’t have millions of followers, he just might already be in your feed. With approximately 100,000 followers on Instagram, you may have stumbled upon him once or twice as a recommended feed. I first learned about this handsome Aussie when Matt over at boyculture blog featured a number of his photos in his post here.

There’s not much more that I can tell you about this guy other than the fact that he is clearly photogenic and extremely handsome. Many of his photos may be considered risque for places of work since he is not opposed to wearing barely any clothing or in some cases none at all so you’ve been warned! Having said that, you can follow his account on Instagram here, instagram.com/brandyboy.

Revere Beach sand sculpting festival this weekend

Revere Beach Sand Sculpting Festival

This coming weekend Revere Beach will host the 2019 International Sand Sculpting Festival. It really is a cool event with a lot of other activities in addition to watching talented sculptures create amazing sand sculptures. Over the years it has grown in popularity and according to organizers, last year’s festival attracted 1,000,000 visitors.

Sergio and I have visited this in the past and have always been impressed by the scale and detail of the participating contestants. Check out the video below and for more details visit, reverebeachpartnership.com/sand-sculpting-festival.
